Hi I am in Canada and diagnosed with Bulbar Palsy ALS March 2023. I cannot speak, but have app to communicate. My biggest frustration is drooling, trying to get under control without having mouth too dry. I have tried drops and a prescribed mouth rinse with not much difference. What is recommended that has worked for PALS.? It really stops me from socializing.

My son-in-law has same problem. We fold a paper towel multiple times and place it on his mouth (needs to be changed frequently but it works).
